Og hvor leser du i dette at 5.2 er evig frelse, og 5.5 er veien til helvete?Nå er vel ingen av disse navnene Drøvel, men kjente autoriteter. Kunze og Narziss liker og skrive på tysk om du vil lese vitenskapelige publikasjoner. Hvis ikke så kan du gå her og lese generelt om meske pH http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php/How_pH_affects_brewing.
conclusion
A number of enzymes are active in the mash and many of them have different pH optima which makes it sometimes confusing to choose the proper mash pH. To reduce that confusion, here are some simple guidelines that can be followed when determining which mash pH should be targeted or deciding if the current mash pH needs adjustment:
- Mash pH numbers are given for room temperature (20-25 C/ 70-80 F) mash samples
- Any mash pH between 5.3 and 5.8 should be sufficient for most mashes
- A mash pH between 5.2 and 5.5 is well suited for infusion mashes with enzymatic strong malts
- A mash pH above 5.4 should be used for decoction mashes and/or enzymatic weak mashes (i.e. large amounts of Munich malt or adjuncts)
